Focal Points Group

2023-2025 Cohort announcing soon

The World Food Forum Focal Points Group is made up of young leaders across the globe that serve as the youth board that offers guidance and support to the activities of the Youth Action track, ensuring that the WFF’s work is relevant and youth-led.

We are currently working on the selection process for the next cohort.

Come back soon! In the meantime, sign up to our newsletter and social media for updates.

Meet the Youth Action Track Focal Points Group

The World Food Forum is excited to announce the launch of the Youth Action Track Focal Points Group (FPG), with 12 youth leaders from across the globe, establishing the first cohort for 2022-2024.

In April 2022, an open call for the FPG was launched by the youth mechanism of the Youth Action track. The call saw 60 applications from young people across the globe, and the WFF extends its gratitude to the 10 Selection Committee members, with a special mention to the Young Professionals for Agricultural Development (YPARD) and the Major Group for Children and Youth (MGCY) who have led this process.

The aim of this group is to draft youth policy positions* on food and agriculture topics and coordinate regional activities, providing strategic direction for upcoming key events and the Youth Action Assembly during the WFF flagship event in October at FAO Headquarters in Rome, Italy. The group works closely with the Youth Action track to support capacity building for actionable solutions and education on policy topics to further empower youth to engage in policy.

Join the WFF Focal Points Group by applying here by 25 February 2023.

*Disclaimer: The draft texts and statements of the FPG are not associated to FAO or partners of the WFF. The FPG acts as an independent body comprised of young people from different backgrounds and geographies.
